Chelsea rival Man Utd for Coman with Zahavi key

Chelsea are interested in Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman.

BILD says Thomas Tuchel is a fan of the France winger, who is in contract dispute with Bayern.

The Bayern star has seen new contract talks deadlocked for several months as he seeks parity with the club's highest earners. The France World Cup winner believes he deserves to be among the club's best paid senior players given the success he's helped bring to Bayern since arriving in 2017 from Juventus.

His situation has attracted interest from Manchester United, which made an attempt to sign the France international last summer.

Coman has changed agents to Pini Zahavi, who is close to Blues owner Roman Abramovich. And Tuchel is keen to bring him to London this summer. Coman's current deal runs to 2023.
